It’s business in the front and party in the back with this versatile, intriguing limited-edition guitar.

• Ash body with Strat Comfort Contours; lacquer finish

• Three Custom Shop ’69 Aged single-coil Stratocaster® pickups
• American Professional Strat synchronized tremolo bridge; silver “spaghetti” Fender logo

ASH BODY

This Telecaster body is crafted from strong, dense ash—a longtime Fender classic. Notably resonant and sweet-sounding, it features an attractive grain.

LACQUER FINISH

The nitrocellulose lacquer finish lets the body breathe with its true tonal character and also ages and wears in a distinctively personal way.

MODERN PLAYBILITY

Combining a modern 9.5”-radius maple fingerboard with narrow-tall frets enhances the playing feel while making it easier to bend notes without fretting out.

CUSTOM SHOP PICKUPS

These Custom Shop ’69 Aged Strat pickups give you authentic Fender tone—crystalline, bell-like and highly articulate.

AMERICAN PROFESSIONAL TREMOLO BRIDGE

This bridge features bent steel saddles for bright, clear tone with plenty of sustain. The pop-in arm stays in place and the tension can be adjusted to match your preferences.

STRATOCASTER ELECTRONICS

The Strat-Tele sports classic Stratocaster controls, including a single volume and two tone controls, along with a 5-way switch to get the most out of its Custom Shop pickups.
